The idea of this experiment stemmed from my “sonic route”- where a recording slowly transferred from one speaker to another.<\/p>\n

Sometime during class this week, Paul had said something along the lines of “If you have a megaphone, people will listen to you”. I had a think about this and decided perhaps that I could have a particular method of delivering my presentation. However, it would not only be somewhat difficult for me to procure a megaphone, but it would also leave my classmates with an annoying headache!<\/p>\n

So I scaled it down.<\/p>\n

This is where a simple children’s toy of a “string cup phone” comes in. One persons speaks into a paper cup attached to a string, the string provides a route for sound to transfer, and one person at the end hears the sound. Easy!<\/p>\n

It does the exact same thing as a telephone. However, with modern technology, we are able to employ programs such as Facebook messenger to talk to multiple people at once. Could we update the cup phone to do the same?<\/p>\n

We are updating the un-updated!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So here is my plan:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve never seen or made a multiple way string phone before, would this work? Who knows?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here are the phones all stacked together!\u00a0(I would say that this is a pretty compact machine if I could say so myself!)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The experiment turned out really well! (I wasn’t able to trial with this many people beforehand!)
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was able to pinch some lines so that some classmates were unable to hear me at times. The physical attachment means that spying is practically impossible!<\/p>\n

A rather private way of communicating in our heavily surveillanced world, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An almost ritual-like ceremony for the phone. One person in the centre that everyone listens to.\u00a0If you have a megaphone I guess people do actually listen to you!<\/em><\/p>\n
